Prime obligations recorded to the Grand Prairie contracting entity / FY2021-FY2026
Mimir identifies approximately $52.5 billion in prime obligations recorded to the Grand Prairie contracting entity. Approximately 99% listed Grand Prairie as the primary place of performance.
These five programs represented approximately 95% of the prime obligations identified. PAC-3 and GMLRS alone accounted for almost 70%.

What the expansion changes
Lockheed says Grand Prairie manufactured 250,000 parts in 2025 and supplies components to final-assembly sites including Camden, Arkansas, and Troy, Alabama.
The commercial question is whether the additional machining capacity will supplement the external supplier base by removing production bottlenecks, or move selected component packages inside Lockheed Martin as missile output increases.

Mimir analysis covers prime obligations recorded to the Lockheed Martin Grand Prairie contracting entity and mapped first-tier subcontract awards beneath its awards, FY2021-FY2026. Primary place of performance is an award-reporting field and does not mean every activity under an award occurred at that location. Supplier sites are distinct CAGE-defined operations. First-tier shares use de-duplicated reported subcontract award value. Lockheed Martin has not disclosed which components will pass through the new automated cell. Figures are rounded.
